Jersey Lyrics.

We have received from Robert
SlnnickSOn, author, Trenton. n. j.,
three poems, copyrighted, for which
we return many thanks to the gifted
author. We confess never having
heard of him before, but after reading
the poems we hasten to express an
avidity for a better acquaintance with
him and his works.
As if suspecting the truth that his
fame had not yet spread beyond the
narrow confines of his native land, the
poet, (who 1t appears is also ex-editor
OF the No0niy F0ice) refers us for his
pedigree to the Boston Public library,
Library of Congress, editorial waste
baskets, and other repositories of
Excelsior literature''-''E Excelsior" be-
ing the nom de plume which his mod
esty assumes. We shall certainly look
it up.
Space will not permit anything like
full quotation of these noble lyrics, but
a specimen stanza or two may bring to
public stupefaction their peculiar
merits. One of them begins:
Bill was faithful old fire-engine horse
And he went to a fire with a vim,
But now he rs only fire-blackened corse;
Fbf. the idlcSi IRE came 10 MIN.
Ills stable was burned, ere escape he could
And his friends are now mourning his loss
The children who fed him with candy and
cake.
VIII now grieve for their old friend, the
''old boss"
The ingenious manner in which
''corse and ''loss" are both made to
rhyme with ''horse" will surely attract
the attention of all poetasters. The
dirge continues for four paroxysms
much like the foregoing, and ends with
touching envoy thus:
Noah-the wild-western. Young .mustanp'
horse,
Bills epitaph now brings to mind
kaa away with corn-plow, when homeward
ais course,
While held the handles behind.
This flavor OF personal "Reminiscences
is what penetrates to the heart. and
these poems are reaking with il. Mind
this wail-in four bursts, all as bad
as this and ali printed on green paper
Like caltless COW, I'm lonely, now
I've iost my better half.
Yet she might now be called the COW,
And /. the blatant calf.
l dream about her every night,
And think of her all day.
I'm surely in a sorry plight
My girl has gone away.
Who says that New Jersey should not
be annexed to the United States by the
Arther XIII bridge. Who convicts it OF
raising no crops but sand-tlies and
hotel-keepers? Its shores harbor q
poet, and we have dry-docked some OF
his verse. If 1t isn't poetry it is built
that way, and we leave it to anyone il
the lines don't loom up in traditional
Clubhouse sUyle-one long and one
short, with jingle at the end?
Pshaw. Or course it's poetry

Really English, You Know.

The English do not say ''By Jove'
and do not say lawfully Jolly" They
say cawn't about as our New England
people do. They have two words con-
stantly interjected in conversation
'really?" which is put in as an inquiry
equivalent to ''can it be SOP" and
fancy" an exclamation of delighted
appreciation of a good story. No other
words are as hard worked in the En-
glish language just now as really
and ''fancy'-the latter pronounced
fawncy. The turning up of the trous-
ers is good form only in lawn tennis
suits. 1t is disputed question wheth-
er the Prince of Wales turns up his
trousers when the gravel is very wet.
The British do not call brooches bags.

Some twelve years ago, an elephant

IN town the tradesman good naturedly
gave it meal of potatoes. Some mouths
since the same elephant returned to Hy

escaped from it's quarters 10 the show,
and visited the old shop. Finding it
closed. the wise beast lifted the door
from its hinges, and then leisurely help
ed itself bountifully to apples, potatoes,
and other good things. Having either
satisfied its appetite or cleared out the
stock, it bent its steps homeward, when
it was met by its keeper, who had started
in search of it. On the following morn
ing, at the same hour, it tried to repea.
the visit, but its intentions were baked
by the keepers vigilance.

In the early days only few scholars
and priests knew how to write. 1t was
then customary to sign document by
smearing the hand with ink and impress
ing it upon the paper, at the same time
saying, "Witness my hand" Afterward
the seal was introduced rs substitute for
the hand mark, the two forming the
signature. This is the origin of the ex-
preston used in modern documents.

that as far as the radical element
of this city is concerned there are
no anarchists in the sense of the
term in which the capitalist press

The Socialists were not fright

the memorial services. West
Turner hall was secured, but when
the fact was advertised commit

the same effects operated to pre-
vent the Socialists occupying the
East Turner hall.
Recourse was had to the last
expedient-old Unity church.
Thanks to the backbone of the
prohibitionists who would not be

The poor reporters (who blames

THE MARTYRS ORPHANS.

The most urgent duty devolving
upon the working people Of the
world is the care of the orphans
and widows left by the men
whose lives were offered up
as a sacrifice to the money god.
The knowledge that those. or
phans and widows may want for
the actual necessaries Of life is
not the only reason our con-
sciences should be spurred on to
immediate action.
A reason not secondary to this
lies in the fact that the world must
be shown that we, the toiling ami
mails, are sufficiently awakened to
appreciate the fact that the labor
agi,ators who laid down their
lives on the eleventh of Novem-
ber, 1887, we're sacrificed for and
in behalf of our emancipation
from the chains of a slavery which
has made us all beasts of burdeV.
AS has beeI. suggested, it should
be made an affair worldwide in
its extension. The toilers Of every
l,pI should and will give of their
pittance for the relief IF those who
are left as widows and orphans Of
men whose devotion to truth and
the cause Of the people led them
as a sacriice up the steps of a
money-power gallows.
Action no doubt will be taken
Immediately in the direction Of

Eight of our bravest soldiers
have fallen, but the ranks must be
filled, the lines kept in order and
the battle persistently fought till
the enemy is routed and peace

Let US not fatter ourselves that
the enemies bullets will strike our
ranks no more. Other victims of
the fortunes of war will be claimed;
other comrades will fall but their
places will be filled and the great
conflict will continue till the hosts
of labor conquer. Be not dis

will come in the glad days when
men will grow strong in the cour-

who are affiliated with the Feder-

Broadway last night through the
mud and slush that had resulted
from the rain which fell all day
yesterday. 1t was the most SOL
emn and digni6ed procession that
ever paraded through the streets
of the metropolis. The demon
stration was gotten up for the pur-
pose of notifying the world in the
most impressive manner possible
that the working people of the re-
public protest against the massa-
ere of fellow-workers uuder a
mockery of law"
The Leader gives long list of
the trade organizations participat-
ing. and gives also the inscriptions
on the transparancies borne in the
line. Now, it will be remembered
that Jay Gould's associated press
telegraphed over the country the
news" of the demonstration. It
gave the notices on the transpar-
ancieS as follows: Blood for
Blood! "Proletariat" Beware
the Insurrection!' "Seven Noble
Men You Kill; Savages Beware!"
"Bombard Us and Well Dyna-
mite You!" "Wage Slaves the
Day of Your Liberation is at
at Hand!"
The Leadey just at hand has a
true list of the transparency mot
toes, which are as follows: "To-
day the Hymn is Death" "The
Gallows versus Liberty" Down
with Tyranny" 1--WE Demand
Justice" 1--WE Protest Against
Judicial Murder" Citizens Arise"

ingmen of New York and the
whole country desired a reign of
blood and fire, and this would
make sort OF justification for
the murderous crime the money
power perpetrated the next day in
Chicago.
The publishing of this infamous
lie about the worklngmen of New
York helped to stay the tide of
public opinion which was rising
in protest against the damnable
crime which Capital committed
when it silenced the tongues of
the labor agitators by strangling
them to death. A day of retribu-
